Low Level Walking in & Around Snowdonia Low Level Walking in & around Snowdonia Introduction Whilst north west Wales is perhaps most famous for the iconic peak of Snowdon, there is also a vast network of wonderful low level walking routes throughout the area. From the beautiful mountain valleys, with their serene lakes and riverside walks, to the old slate quarries and woodland trails, down to the breathtaking beauty of the coastal fringes of the Lleyn Peninsula and Anglesey there is enough variety to ensure something for everybody. The area is well served with a broad spectrum of outdoor orientated businesses: outdoor shops, accommodation providers, campsites, cafes and rural pubs. Walking is easily the most popular and accessible form of outdoor recreation. It is a healthy pastime which strengthens both body and mind and is enjoyed by millions of visitors to Snowdonia. The basic requirements are boots, warm clothing, waterproofs, spare clothing and a rucksack to carry it in, a large-scale map - and your imagination. History Traditionally, people came to the mountains to climb them; Thomas Johnson made the first recorded ascent of Snowdon in 1639. Low level routes were undertaken over a thousand years earlier, notably by pilgrims to Bardsey Island off theLlˆyn Peninsula , the resting place of 20 thousand saints. Drovers navigated their way through the mountains and miners created routes from their communities to quarries and mines. These historical routes left an intricate web of footpaths over the Glaslyn walk (Photo: Ray Wood) countryside which were, by their nature, corridors of communication for postmen, farmers and local trade. In comparatively recent times these rights of way have become increasingly popular as recreational routes and, by linking and tailoring them to individual preferences, wonderful low level walks can be created. Getting Started Equipment Boots are preferable to shoes or trainers because of the support they give to the ankles. They should have a 'Commando' or 'Vibram' type sole to ensure good traction on grassy or muddy slopes. If the boots are snowdonia-active reasonably waterproof it helps, but above all they should eryri-bywiol be comfortable. Clothing is a personal choice. A layering system is advised, where one can adjust the body temperature by adding on or stripping off as required. Jeans are not recommended because denim, when wet and www.snowdonia-active.com cold, tends to conduct heat away from the body. Changeable weather conditions make waterproofs an essential part of …there is also a vast your kit. Modern waterproof fabrics combine durable water repellence with breathability; generally the more you pay for the garment, the network of wonderful low more comfortable you will be in wet or humid conditions. level walking routes Essential spare clothes should include a synthetic 'fleece' jacket or jumper, socks, gloves and a hat. These can be kept dry in a plastic bag at throughout the area. the bottom of your rucksack. The rucksack would also contain food and drink to sustain you on your walk and, just in case, emergency rations, a torch and a whistle. Page 1 snowdonia-active eryri-bywiol Low level walking in & around Snowdonia There are a number of guide books and leaflets available describing walks in Snowdonia, but these should always be used in conjunction with an Ordinance Survey Map scale 1:50,000 or better still, for more detail, the 1:25,000. Planning your walk Be sure that the route you are planning is within your capabilities. What you plan on the map in the comfort of your home may appear easy enough as you trace your finger up one valley, over a little col and down another; only a few inches. But a few inches on a 1 to 50,000 scale map may well turn out to be an all day, strenuous, undertaking. Begin modestly and by gaining knowledge, fitness and experience, you will extend your horizons with greater enjoyment and safety. When you have become competent at reading a map you can progress to learning about its complimentary partner the compass. For low level walks along rights of way, navigation skills involving the compass are not absolutely necessary. However, it is always good practice to carry a compass and if nothing else it will show you how to orientate the map. Always check the weather forecast. The Met Office is the principal source and the information they give out after radio and TV news bulletins is essential knowledge when planning your walk. A Snowdonia forecast is also available on: Mountain Call Snowdonia 09068 500 449 (premium rate call 60p per minute). A forecast is also available from: www.metoffice.gov.uk/outdoor/mountainsafety/snowdonia Summer ramble wirh Cnich in the distance Safety (Photo: Ray Wood) Accidents can and do happen to anybody at any time, even on seemingly simple low level routes.

Page 2 snowdonia-active eryri-bywiol Low level walking in & around Snowdonia Regional Breakdown The areas covered by the 'Explorer' series, 1:25,000 (4cm to 1 kilometre) OS maps in this corner of Wales are: • Snowdon, Glyderau, Carneddau and Moel Hebog groups - Map OL17 • Moelwynion, Arenig and Y Rhinogydd OL18 • Arans and Cadair Idris OL23 • Lleyn Peninsula253 (West) and 254 (East) • Anglesey/Ynys Môn262 (West) and 263 (East) The northern groups of Snowdon, the Glyderau and the Carneddau are the big boys, the haunts of hardy mountaineers testing their skill, strength and stamina on the lofty peaks, exposed ridges and steep cliffs. Don't be put off - you don't have to climb to their summits to enjoy the pleasures of the mountains. In fact the finest views of the majestic summits are experienced from the lower, safer slopes from which you can look up at them. A forty minute leisurely walk from the car park at the top of the Llanberis Pass along the Miners Track, a broad, comfortable way along which it is even possible to push a pram, will bring you to Llyn Llydaw, a beautiful lake in the very heart of Snowdon. Be humbled in the embrace of the Snowdon Horseshoe and enjoy the company of nature from the safety of the lower levels. A similar experience, though not possible with a pram, can be enjoyed in the Ogwen Valley by going up to, and around Llyn Idwal. Above this lake at the head of the cwm are the dark, imposing, striated walls of the Devil's Kitchen. At the head of the lake are Llyn Idwal (Photo: Ray Wood) the Idwal Slabs, where many budding rock climbers have put their nerves to the test. You can watch their progress whilst perhaps picnicking at the lakeside in this dramatic arena. The central group of the Moelwynion, Arenig and Y Rhiniogydd are rounder, lower If you fancy an excursion in the woods then Coed y Brenin, provides hills, but still their summits reach up to over 2000 feet, and even in mid-summer, if the for walks of varying distances weather turns nasty, they can be cold desolate places. However, a perusal of the OL 18 map will show many interesting low level routes and if you fancy an excursion in the woods then Coed y Brenin, central to this area, provides for walks of varying distances. snowdonia-active Coed y Brenin also boasts some of the finest mountain biking circuits in the country. eryri-bywiol The disused slate quarries, such as Rhosydd, to the west of Blaenau Ffestiniog in the Moelwyns are fascinating places, surrender to your mind's eye and you can almost visualise the quarrymen of yesteryear walking proudly among the ruins that are today www.snowdonia-active.com a monument to their Herculean achievements. Do not wander too far from the footpaths as abandoned quarries are dangerous places; wet slate is very slippery and there may be hidden shafts. Never enter underground workings unless as part of a competently-led party. The southern area is where the massifs of the Arans and Cadair Idris rise steeply from the Diffwys and Mawddach rivers, and is sometimes referred to as the 'Golden Triangle' because of the gold mining industry that once flourished here. Treasures of a different kind can be discovered from a wonderful low level walk called the Mawddach Trail, a disused railway line that runs along the southern bank of the estuary; you can easily take a push-chair along its length.

  • 13 Socio-Economics and Tourism
    Visual Impact Provision (VIP) Snowdonia Project, Environmental Appraisal Volume 1 13 SOCIO-ECONOMICS AND TOURISM 13.1 Introduction 13.1.1 This chapter of the Environmental Appraisal assesses the potential effects on socio-economic and tourism receptors associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the Visual Impact Provision (VIP), Snowdonia Project (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Project). 13.1.2 The potential effects considered in this appraisal are summarised under five subtopics, as follows: • Tourism: potential effects on tourism attractions and tourism hubs and the wider tourism sector (including the Snowdonia National Park), such as changes in access and/or amenity1. • Recreation: potential effects on recreational receptors such as changes in access and/or amenity. Recreational receptors include public rights of way (PRoW), cycle routes, long distance walking routes (LDWR), open access land, nature reserves and marine-related leisure activities. • Community amenity: potential amenity effects2 on community settlements and residents. • Employment: an overview of the potential direct and indirect employment generation on a local and regional basis. • Supply chain: expenditure within the local and national supply chain. 13.1.3 In the context of this appraisal, ‘amenity’ is the term used to describe the character or attractiveness of an area. When two or more environmental effects are experienced by the same receptors (e.g. a cycling route), amenity can be affected, with the potential to deter users (e.g. cyclists). The following environmental effects are considered in the amenity appraisal: landscape and visual effects; traffic and transport effects; and noise and vibration effects. Due to these important interactions between environmental effects and socio-economic and tourism receptors, it is recommended that this chapter is read in conjunction with Chapter 6 (Landscape and Visual), Chapter 12 (Traffic and Transport) and Chapter 14 (Noise and Vibration).

    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

It is not surprising therefore that many millions each year visit Eryri to enjoy the scenery and to participate in outdoor activities. Eryri supports rural communities, their future and the future of the Welsh language which is under threat. The low wage economy and high cost of housing exacerbated by pressures from in-migration together with a shortage of affordable housing is driving young people away from their native communities. Climate change and the implications for people, plants and animals and our response to this threat pose a real challenge to the ‘Special Qualities’ of Eryri. Working with the Eryri Forum and other stakeholders the Authority has carried out widespread public consultation on the key strategies that underpin the policies in the Eryri Local Development Plan. The Authority believes that the Eryri Local Development Plan provides a sound basis for meeting its statutory purposes as well as promoting the social and economic well being of its communities.

W. Carter, appeared in 1955*. Yet Merioneth has neVer had a published Flora. About the end of the last century Daniel Angell Jones (1861-1936), of Machynlleth and Harlech, compiled a manuscript Flora which is now in the National Museum of Wales. But in later life, it seems, he rather neglected the higher plants for bryophytes, on which he became an authority. In sixty years, British plant geography has progressed from infancy to maturity, and much work has been done in Merioneth ; ecology and cytology have been born, and opinions of the taxonomic status of many plants have changed in the light of experimental work.
